Psalms 38

1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

1 O Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger or chastise me in your wrath.

2 Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me.

2 For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has pressed down on me.

3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation. There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.

4 For my iniquities have passed over my head; like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.

5 My wounds start to stink; they rot because of my foolishness.

6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.

6 I am bowed down; I am bent over greatly. All the day I go about mourning.

7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.

7 For my loins are full [of] burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

8 I am faint and crushed greatly; I groan because of the roaring of my heart.

9 All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.

9 O Lord, all my longing is before you, and my sighing is not hidden from you.

10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.

10 My heart throbs violently, my strength leaves me; and the light of my eyes, that also is not with me.

11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.

11 My friends and companions stand aloof from my affliction, and my relatives stand afar off.

12 Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie.

12 Those who seek my life lay snares as well, and those intent on my harm speak threats. They also plot deceit all day.

13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak;

13 But as for me, like [the] deaf I cannot hear, and [I am] like [the] mute [who] cannot open his mouth.

14 I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.

14 And [so] I am like a man who hears not, and in whose mouth there are no retorts.

15 LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.

15 Rather for you I wait, O Yahweh. You will answer, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”

16 For I said, "[Help,] lest they rejoice over me, [lest] they boast against me when my foot slips."

17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

17 For I [am] ready to stumble, and my pain [is] before me continually.

18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

18 For my iniquity I confess; I am anxious because of my sin.

19 Many have become my enemies without cause ; those who hate me without reason are numerous.

19 And my enemies without cause are numerous, and those who hate me wrongfully are many.

20 Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good.

20 And those who repay evil in return for good accuse me in return for my pursuing good.

21 LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God.

21 Do not forsake me, O Yahweh. O my God, do not be far from me.

22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.

22 Hurry to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
